Having established it's a "sumo" word, I think it should be clear whose loinclosh it is.

This is a fork, which has to be deleted. See the other fork for "mawashi".

Not to be pedantic but there's a distinction between a term for loincloth (any loincloth) used in the world of sumo and a word designating sumo's loincloths specifically.

Wikipedia defines mawashi as:

In sumo, a mawashi (Japanese: 廻し) is the belt that the rikishi (or sumo wrestler) wears during training or in competition. 

I think it's better to specify that it's a loincloth or belt worn by sumo wrestlers.
